Pros: Love the "cylon" stand. Very easy to adjust. Light. Minimal bezel, beautiful color depth, reasonably low delay. Decent viewing angles. 23.8 inches is a nice upgrade from 21.

Cons: Side bezel is awkwardly designed in such a way that a "drop shadow" effect is present on both side edges. Can be seen unless staring dead on.

Did not come with an HDMI cable whereas the cheaper 23" does. Did not comer with DVI cable either. Did have a DVI connector even though some sites said it did not.

Other Thoughts: Great average priced IPS. My past 2 screens have been acer models, and both were refurb. Both still work to this day. Acer has done a good job on this. Personally, I would have picked the glossy 23" popular option, but am happy with my choice :)

Pros: - Excellent color quality, a nice step up from my old monitors
- The small bezle (the plastic border around the screen) is great for multi-monitor setups
- Solid base, not as likely to tip over or move due to small bumps as other brands I've used
- Despite what the specs say, this model (G247HYL bmidx) actually has HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA connections

Cons: - The settings buttons are a little hard to get to and are not labeled from the front (though most people will probably never need to use them)
- The pair of logos that pop up on the screen when you first turn it on are a bit annoying.

Other Thoughts: I've owned a pair of Acer 19" 16:10 monitors for a few years now without any issues or complaints. This year the Black Friday deals persuaded me that it was time to upgrade, and so I bought two of these units (G247HYL bmidx) to replace my existing dual monitor setup.
The most immediate thing I've noticed after upgrading is whenever I play YouTube videos, YouTube now defaults to the highest resolutions at 60fps whenever possible (which looks amazing I might add). I've also noticed that many of the games I play seem to perform better using the 1080p resolution over my previous monitors 1400x900 resolution. Overall I'm very happy with these monitors and would even consider getting a 3rd for a 3-screen setup if I had a big enough desk to fit them all on.

In general, Acer is not a brand I associate with quality, high-end electronics (their motherboards are passable, and PCs mediocre at best), but when it comes to monitors I've yet to be disappointed by an Acer product.

Pros: It has VGA, DVI and HDMI ports for connection.
Monitor has great quality and viewing angle with narrow edge.
A plus is the built-in speakers.

It would be even better if it offers MHL.

Cons: Haven't experienced any yet.

Other Thoughts: It would be nicer if the price can drop a little more.

Pros: Overall nice monitor. I bought it without reading reviews so I was a little worried. It is pretty large for the price with a great ms for price.
No dead pixels.
A lot of display options.
Lets you search all inputs so you don't scroll through, you just have to click 2 buttons.
I have only used it on Netflixs so far, it had no to very little ghosting.
Very nice display using an HDMI cable and it is nice.

Cons: The speakers as in any monitor are not very loud but this is not really a con. You can't expect built-in speakers to be good for everything. We can hear netflix just fine with the dryer running in the next room. They are very clear just somewhat quiet.

Other Thoughts: I would buy this monitor again, I will buy this if I am looking for a double/triple monitor setup
